The best garden trellises, compared.
Top pick: AC Infinity AC-ETB Best value: Kanta KL2002 3-pack – About £13.99 for three panels, about £4.66 each, with aluminium rivets claimed, once the Gardman top pick is set aside. Updated October 2026.
A garden trellis is a lattice or net a climbing plant can hold. On amazon.co.uk the crowded end of that search is a narrow expanding wooden panel about 180 cm by 30 cm. UK reviews use the wooden packs on a fence for clematis, jasmine and other light climbers. The same reviews describe laths that split when you screw them without a pilot hole, and pins that pull out as a lattice opens. A stackable plastic trellis is for a pot. A freestanding screen is a low barrier you have to weight. No metal panel is in this set, and there was no garden trial. The checks, in order, are in the [trellis buying guide](/hub/plant-accessories/trellis/sub/trellis-buying-guide). Quality in these extracts is a formed rivet and a lath you can pre-drill.

Question 1 of 2
Where will the plant climb?
The AC Infinity AC-ETB is an elastic polyester net, 60 x 120 cm and 99.6 g, at about £12.99, with steel hooks named in the highlight. Across 2,980 reviews it sits at 4.6, and its browse rank is in Garden Netting, not Garden Trellises. Many of those reviews discuss grow tents, and many are not labelled United Kingdom, so the star line is not a UK garden-fence score. Reviewers also say nets leave gaps and can load the tent poles. It does the job of a canopy net for a tent of that size. It will not stand in for a 1.8 m wooden lattice on a fence, whatever the star rating suggests at a glance.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A grow tent that matches 60 x 120 cm, if you accept a net rather than a wooden lattice.
Less suitable: A UK garden fence, a pot, or any ranking that treats 4.6 as a trellis score.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a garden fence trellis?
No. It is elastic netting, model AC-ETB, 60 x 120 cm, for a grow tent. Its rank is in Garden Netting.
Does it include hooks?
The highlight says steel hooks. Reviews describe corner hooks. The listing weight is 99.6 g.
Will the 4.6 score tell you about a fence panel?
No. The 2,980 reviews are for this net. Many discuss tents, not garden fences, and many are not labelled United Kingdom.
The Gardman 07250 is one riveted wooden panel stated at 1.8 x 0.3 m and 343 g, listed at about £7.14. Across 1,707 amazon.co.uk reviews it sits at 4.4, the largest garden-lattice file in this set. UK reviewers fix it for clematis, jasmine, passion flower and sweet peas, and they describe that as a straightforward job when the climber stays light. The same reviews say the wood splits if you nail or screw it without a pilot hole, and a few report off-centre rivets or a split as the lattice is opened. No screws and no load figure are in the listing. One reviewer calls it a bit flimsy for wisteria, which fits a narrow expanding lath rather than a framed panel. In this set it is the top pick for a light climber on a fence you already have. A 30 cm width will not cover a fence bay on its own.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A light climber on a fence or wall, when you will pre-drill and buy your own fixings.
Less suitable: A mature wisteria, a wide fence bay, or a pot.
Specifications
Common questions
How big is the Gardman 07250?
The title and the size name say 1.8 x 0.3 m. The listing is one panel and weighs 343 g.
Are fixings included?
No mounting hardware is listed. UK reviews say the wood splits if you screw or nail it without a pilot hole.
What did reviewers grow on it?
UK reviews name clematis, jasmine, passion flower and sweet peas. One review calls it a bit flimsy for wisteria.
The LATERN lattice states an open size of 180 x 30 cm and a folded size of 43 x 25 cm, at about £14.99, and the bullet claims a load of up to 10 kg. That 10 kg figure is the seller’s claim, not a trial. Across 254 amazon.co.uk reviews it sits at 4.4, and UK reviewers name clematis and honeysuckle. The title says two pieces and the spec table says one, so the pack count is not settled. Reviewers still report splits in the pine, one return, and nail points that stick out. Fixings are not in the box. It suits a light climber when you want both sizes printed, and it is the wrong panel if you need a counted two-pack you can trust before the parcel arrives.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A light climber when you want a printed folded size and you will check how many panels are actually in the box.
Less suitable: A mature woody climber, or a buyer who needs the two-pack count to be unambiguous.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the LATERN a two-pack?
The title says 2 pieces. The spec table says number of items 1. Both figures are in the listing.
What load does the bullet claim?
Up to 10 kg (22.05 lb). That figure is the seller’s claim. UK reviews still mention splits and protruding nail points.
What is the folded size?
The bullet says 43 x 25 cm folded and 180 x 30 cm fully open.
The Toyosport pack is two expanding panels at about £19.99, with a bullet size of 30 x 190 x 0.7 cm and a claimed load of up to 10 kg. Across 94 amazon.co.uk reviews it sits at 4.3. UK reviewers name jasmine, honeysuckle, clematis and, in one case, wisteria, and one used plastic tube to hold the lattice off the wall. Another review says the wood is thin and needs care, one says it would not stay open, and one put the opened length nearer 1.6 m than the quoted reach. Mounting hardware is not listed. The thickness and the two-panel count are clearer than on the cheaper Kanta packs. You still pay more per panel than for the Gardman 07250, and the 10 kg line is not a lab test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Two light-climber strips when you want a stated thickness and you can spare about £19.99.
Less suitable: A tight budget, a measured 1.9 m run you cannot shorten, or a pot.
Specifications
Common questions
What size does Toyosport state?
The bullet says 30 x 190 x 0.7 cm fully expanded. One UK review put the length nearer 1.6 m than 1.8 m.
What load is claimed?
The bullet says up to 10 kg. Mounting hardware is not listed.
How do UK reviews fix it?
On a wall or stretched along a fence. One review used plastic tube to hold it off the wall. Another says the wood is thin and needs care.
The LYAZKMY set is six green plastic pieces, each stated at 18.2 x 35.8 cm, with a roll of ties, at about £12.99. Across 98 amazon.co.uk reviews it sits at 4.2. English-language reviews use it for pothos, ivy and monstera, pushed into compost rather than screwed to a fence. One review says a stack is only stable two high, another says three tiers held a potted rose, and a honeysuckle review says it fell apart above three tiers. There is no load figure. The listing says indoor and outdoor, while the reviews are more confident indoors. It is the only pot trellis in this set, and it is the wrong object for a fence bay or a heavy outdoor climber.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A houseplant in compost, stacked about two high, with the ties that come in the box.
Less suitable: A fence bay, a heavy honeysuckle, or a clematis that needs a 45 cm pot and a sturdier frame.
Specifications
Common questions
Will this fit a fence bay?
No. Each piece is stated at 18.2 x 35.8 cm. It is a pot trellis you stack, not a 180 cm lattice.
Are ties included?
Yes. The bullet says one roll of garden ties. Reviews mention a reel with a cutter.
How high can you stack it?
One review says it is only stable two high. Another says three tiers held a potted rose. A honeysuckle review says it fell apart above three tiers.
The Kanta dark brown pack is three brass-pinned panels at about £8.75, with the title size 180 x 30 cm, and 234 reviews at 4.1. That is the lowest shelf price for three panels in this set, about £2.92 each. UK reviewers who got the lattice to stay together have grown passionflower, clematis and roses on it. Several others say the pins are too short and the lattice falls apart as it opens, and some parcels arrived broken. The wood is called thin. The spec table lists 14 x 80 cm without calling that the folded size. It is only a bargain if every pin holds when you open the panel, which these reviews do not let you assume.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A cheap three-pack only if you open every panel on the day it arrives and can return the ones that shed pins.
Less suitable: A climber you cannot retie next weekend, or a fence where a collapsed lattice is a nuisance.
Specifications
Common questions
How is this Kanta pack joined?
The bullet says brass pinned treated wood. It does not say aluminium rivets.
What size is stated?
The title says 180 x 30 cm, pack of three. The spec table lists 14 x 80 cm and does not call that the folded size.
What failed in UK reviews?
Several say the pins are too short and the lattice falls apart when opened. Others use it for passionflower or clematis once it is fixed.
The tonchean screen is two freestanding panels stated at 80 cm high, extending from about 34 cm to 160 cm wide, at 5.89 kg and about £59.99. Across 60 amazon.co.uk reviews it sits at 4.1. UK reviewers use it as a light dog or cat barrier and say it blows over unless you add weight or pegs. Laths cracked when the lattice was opened a long way. The bullet claims a screw kit and a screwdriver, while reviews report a small driver, missing screws, and holes that do not line up. The spec table also says 160 x 10 cm, which does not match the 80 cm height. It is a movable screen you have to weight. It is the wrong buy if you need a fence-top trellis or a barrier that stays up in wind on its own.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A movable indoor or sheltered screen when you can weight the feet.
Less suitable: A windy garden, a fence topper, or a dog barrier you will not watch.
Specifications
Common questions
How tall is the tonchean screen?
The bullet and the highlight say 80 cm high, extending from about 34 cm to 160 cm wide. The spec table also says 160 x 10 cm, which does not match that height.
Does it stay up in wind?
UK reviews say it blows over unless you add weight or pegs. One review used it as a temporary dog barrier and accepted that limit.
What comes in the box?
The bullet says a screw kit and a screwdriver. Reviews report a small driver, missing screws, and holes that do not line up.
The Kanta KL2002 is three expanding wooden panels, with the title size 1.8 x 0.3 m, at about £13.99, which is about £4.66 a panel. The listing claims treated pine and aluminium rivets, and 197 amazon.co.uk reviews give it 4.0. UK reviewers do fix it to a fence for light climbers, though several call the laths flimsy. Rivets pull out, and panels arrive broken, in more than one UK review, and the wood splits if you nail it without a pilot hole. The spec table also lists 15 x 43 cm and does not say that figure is the folded size, so the opened length is the title’s claim. No kilogram load is printed. It is the best value in this set if you want three narrow panels and you will pre-drill, and it is a poor buy if the lattice must stay together the first time you open it.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Three narrow fence strips for light climbers, if you open each panel before you rely on it and you pre-drill.
Less suitable: A woody climber, a first lattice you cannot return easily, or a pot.
Specifications
Common questions
How many panels are in the KL2002 pack?
The title and the item count say three. The opened size in the title is 1.8 x 0.3 m. The spec table also lists 15 x 43 cm and does not say that figure is folded.
Does it include fixings?
No. UK reviews describe nails or cable ties, and say you should drill because the wood splits.
Is a load given?
No kilogram figure is in the listing. The bullet claims treated pine and aluminium rivets.
The Kanta two-pack is listed at about £9.99, with a title reach of up to 180 x 30 cm and a claim of aluminium rivets. Only 35 amazon.co.uk reviews sit behind the 4.0 score, a thin file next to the Gardman panel. One UK review used it to close a small gap, and another says the ends are not pinned. The lattice broke while being opened in one review, and another calls the wood paper thin and says it splits under screws. No fixings and no kilogram figure are in the extract. The spec table lists 15 x 80 cm and does not label that as folded, while the title says up to 180 x 30 cm. It can fill a short run if both panels arrive intact, and it is a weak choice if you need a joint you can trust before you stretch it.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A short gap on a wall, if you can open both panels and return them when a joint fails.
Less suitable: A long fence run, a heavy climber, or anyone who needs the pinned ends the bullet implies.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the title’s heavy duty line include a weight limit?
No. The title says heavy duty. The extract has no kilogram figure.
Are the ends riveted?
The bullet claims aluminium rivets. One UK review says the ends are not pinned.
Are fixings in the box?
No. One UK review added timber top and bottom before the panel would sit on a wall.
The Nisorpa screen is two freestanding expanding panels, stated at about 70 cm high and from 34 cm to 160 cm wide, weighing 5.27 kg, at about £59.99. Only 11 amazon.co.uk reviews give it 4.0. UK reviewers treat it as a temporary barrier. One says it would not contain the dog in the photo, and another reports a split on first opening. The bullet describes screws and a tool, while the included-components field says no, and one review found no instructions. The spec table says 70 x 24 cm, which does not match the 160 x 70 cm maximum. It can stand without a fence if you assemble it and accept a short, light screen. It is not a 1.8 m fence lath, and it is not a pet-proof gate.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A low temporary screen indoors or in a sheltered spot, if eleven reviews are enough for you.
Less suitable: A fence-top trellis, a windy boundary, or a dog you actually need to keep in.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this stand on its own?
Yes. The title says freestanding, 70 cm high, width adjustable from 34 cm to 160 cm. It is not a 1.8 m fence lath.
Is assembly required?
Yes. The bullet describes screws and a tool. The included-components field says NO. One review says there were no instructions.
Will it hold a dog?
UK reviews call it a temporary barrier. One says it would not contain the dog in the photo, and another reports a split on first opening. There are only 11 reviews.
Ten trellis listings on amazon.co.uk were scored from the listing facts in this set on 16 October 2026. The editorial score uses the star line, review volume, whether the open size and pack count agree, whether reviews name the job, and the shelf price. Points come off when pins pull out, panels arrive broken, a size table clashes, or a grow-tent net is ranked as a fence lattice. There was no garden trial. The best-value badge is the price per panel once the top pick is set aside, among expanding lattices that do not lose points for pins falling out.
Stars
35%Round half up: Amazon stars divided by 5, then times 35, for a maximum of 35. The star line is the start of the score. It is not a garden trial.
Review volume

Start with the job, then with the plant’s weight and the opened size. Joints, fixings and the height of the finished fence decide the rest. The notes below follow that order for these ten listings.
A garden trellis is a lattice or net a climbing plant can hold. On amazon.co.uk the crowded end of that search is a narrow expanding wooden panel about 180 cm by 30 cm. UK buyers in this set use those panels on a fence for clematis, jasmine and other light climbers. They also report thin laths that split when screwed, and pins that pull out when the lattice is opened. Quality in these extracts is a formed rivet and a lath you can pre-drill.
Artificial ivy rolls titled as trellis are screening, not a support a climber can hold. They are not in this comparison.
The Kanta brass-pinned pack draws reviews that say the pins are too short and the lattice falls apart as it opens. Open it on the day it arrives, before you rely on it.
None of these listings states a BS 8417 use class. Above-ground outdoor timber is not the same specification as timber in the soil. “Treated” or “carbonised” does not change that.
Decide whether you need a fence or wall lattice, a pot support, a grow-tent net, or a freestanding screen. Do not rank those four as one list. Light twiners such as a young clematis are what UK reviews name on the wooden packs. A mature wisteria needs a stronger support. The 10 kg line on LATERN and Toyosport is the seller’s claim, not a trial. Then set the opened size against the fence bay. Diamonds widen as the panel lengthens, so 180 cm is not a rigid rectangle.
Rivets hold up better in this set than short pins. Gardman 07250 is riveted and has the largest garden-lattice review file. Kanta KL2002 claims aluminium rivets, and reviews still report rivets pulling out. The brass-pinned Kanta pack is the one whose pins fall out as it opens, which is why the lower shelf price is not the best-value award. None of the wooden packs includes battens or screws. The RHS wants about 5 cm off the fence and about 30 cm above the soil. Pre-drill, or the lath splits.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a narrow wooden lattice for clematis, jasmine or another light twiner, and you will pre-drill. The Gardman 07250 is one riveted panel at about £7.14, with 4.4 from 1,707 reviews. It is 0.3 m wide, so it will not cover a fence bay on its own, and one review calls it flimsy for wisteria.
You need a push-in plastic trellis, not a 180 cm lath. The LYAZKMY set is six pieces, each about 18.2 x 35.8 cm, with ties, at about £12.99 and 4.2 from 98 reviews. Reviews are more confident about a stack two high than about a tall outdoor climber.
You want elastic netting for a tent, not a fence. The AC Infinity AC-ETB is 60 x 120 cm at about £12.99, with 4.6 from 2,980 reviews of that net. Many reviews are not labelled United Kingdom. That star line is not a garden-trellis score.
In this set of ten amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick for a light climber on a fence is the Gardman 07250 at about £7.14. It shows 4.4 from 1,707 reviews, it is riveted, and the stated size is 1.8 x 0.3 m. No fixings are listed. UK reviews say it splits without a pilot hole. It is too narrow for a fence bay, and one review calls it flimsy for wisteria. The best value is the Kanta KL2002 three-pack at about £13.99, about £4.66 a panel, with aluminium rivets claimed. Reviews still call it flimsy, and rivets pull out. The cheaper brass-pinned three-pack at about £8.75 is not that award: the pins are the failure the reviews repeat. The AC Infinity net is not a fence lattice. None of these panels was load-tested.
Kanta KL2002 3-pack
About £13.99 for three panels, about £4.66 each, with aluminium rivets claimed, once the Gardman top pick is set aside.
